Hi Carlos,
I could whip up a "dummy" version of my FDKs replacing the binary artifacts with empty placeholders
of the same name. This way there shouldn't be any legal issues with me publically making Adobe
stuff downloadable.
The other alternative would be that everyone interested in the Structure to contact me and
I'll give them the download link (I just don't want to get into Trouble with Adobe).
Chris

Betreff: Re: Flex Maven FDK Generator RC1
Hi Chris,
you're completly right. In order to get this milestone we need to discuss project structure
to get parent/child, and so on...
I think a new [Discuss] thread should be open ASAP to see everyone opinion about this.

the Tool it should be almost no work at all. Frederic added a tool to deploy the generated
artifacts to Nexus, I am planning on creating something similar to deploy to Artifactory (I
haven't checked, if I even need to implement a separate tool). Using these it should be easy
to integrate them into the release build. If any maven/ant plugin adapters are needed I would
be glad to provide them.

my Generator is a first step in this direction and that's one of the reasons why I would like
to open the discussion on the structure. My FDKs are my opinion on an ideal structure but
I would be glad to adjust if someone has any objections.

parent/child module config stuff, the plugin configuration stuff, the dependencies and so
on.

be that hard.
